Wednesday saw federal and state governments agree to remove a 10 percent goods and services tax, which had been implemented after tampons and sanitary pads were previously considered non-essential items.

I wonder if women will be compensated for the 18 years of tax they paid on tampons, now that Australian governments have uniformly acknowledged the bleeding obvious: they are not a luxury item #tampontax#auspol

Ladies, please remember that tampons and commercially produced pads are SINGLE USE ITEMS and are terrible for the environment. Cloth pads are washable and are not full of harmful chemicals and I think any woman who uses tampons is contributing to climate change. #tampontax
